<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>source &lt;(npm completion)</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>Enables tab-completion in all npm commands.</p>
<p>The synopsis above
loads the completions into your current shell.  Adding it to
your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc will make the completions available
everywhere:</p>
<pre><code>npm completion &gt;&gt; ~/.bashrc
npm completion &gt;&gt; ~/.zshrc</code></pre><p>You may of course also pipe the output of npm completion to a file
such as <code>/usr/local/etc/bash_completion.d/npm</code> if you have a system
that will read that file for you.</p>
<p>When <code>COMP_CWORD</code>, <code>COMP_LINE</code>, and <code>COMP_POINT</code> are defined in the
environment, <code>npm completion</code> acts in &quot;plumbing mode&quot;, and outputs
completions based on the arguments.</p>
